http://www.ittrainer.com/Downloads/delpart.exe This program will without a doubt blow away the partition, so you can fdisk etc...it's meant for killing NT partitions but should work for ya. ----- Original Message ----- From: Miltiadis Margaronis <miltux@titika.miltux.gr> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, July 09, 1999 8:39 PM Subject: I have a little problem > Hi, > I have a problem with my disks. > Here's the story: > I recently installed (via FTP) FreeBSD 3.2 on my second IDE hard disk. > Unfortunately, i made a mistake when i was making partitions, and as a > result, my primary HD (all of it) is marked as a active extended DOS > partition.
